i was reading my emails ytd, then i saw this email from shi hui. it was those normal email where u see the long lists of questions and the sender's answers there, and the sender wants you to answer the same question and send back. so i read through. one of the questions was:
"where is your 2nd home."
shi hui answer was the gym. haha. of course. gymnast mah. then i was thinking of putting band room. but when i probe my mind further i found more than one answer to this little innocent question.
where are my homes u ask?
well basically i think i have 4 homes everyday.
1. where im really staying now.
2. nanyang, dlss, nanyang band room...... it depends on when.
3. science centre.
4. chua chu kang public library.
these are the four. why?
haiya. i think the first and second home you know the reason why right. i dont have to elaborate it.
what bout the third and fourth homes?
let's talk about the fourth home first.
chua chu kang public library. why. because it contains so many of my childhood memories. i remember when i was as young as 2, i stepped into many many different libraries, but none as big as the chua chu kang public library. i cried, laugh and played there. thus, it became my 4th home. the very recent and unforgettable memory carefully stored inside there was the one 2 years back, when i was primary 5. TC was alive then, we met at the library to discuss various matters, sometimes fun, somtimes serious, sometimes even painful. TC could be considered as one of the "golden days" for me. but it was also a downfall.
now why science centre.
i never knew there was such thing as a science centre till i was primary one, when my mum brought me there during a holiday. that was when i got interested in science. everything there was amazing. so many gagets that work wonders and so many miracles, small though not big, happen. and so i was fascinated by this big big centre.
not only that, so many things happened there too. primary 4 go there for some science quiz thingy, then there was this science exhibition on the mind's eye just after you enter. (it's still there.) then there's exhitbition where there's a line of laser on the wall and directly opposite it there's a mirror. the instructions instruct you to move the mirror left to right with your eyes concentrating on the reflection of the laser behind you. and you will see a girrafe! me and yanyi were using the mirror. and do you know what daryl and cedric were doing behind us?
they
were
shaking
their
heads
violently.
and im not joking. they really where looking at the laser directly and shaking their heads violently.
and whyee?
cos you could also see the girrafe like that.
and it was true. me and yanyi tried it out and we saw the girrafe also. haha. but can you imagine what the other passers-by must be thinking about us 4 students standing there shaking their heads like idiots?
"gaaaah, what are the four pupils in their brown school uniform standing there and shaking their heads so hard that their heads seem to almost come off?"
HAHA.
gosh. we really must seem like idiots.
another memory nice to pick out would bee the one last year.
jie qiang, johnathan, kin pong, kenneth, jia hao, and me went everywhere anywhere in the science centre together. (you must be thinking, wat am i doing with a bunch of oh-so-reckless boys? hey. dont get the wrong idea. im with them for some favour of SOMEONE.) anyway, we went up to 2nd level, and started playing around lah. and then we came to this pressure thingy and it was a game. so we needed 6 people to play the game and we started playing. for once in that whole year none of the boys, especially jie qiang and jia hao, actually teased me. which was a good thing and our teamwork wasnt so bad, considering there were 5 basketballers (the boys duh. do i look like one?) and one swimmer (me duh. do they look like swimmers?) . and it was definitely fun playing with them. despite the fact that kin pong needs some clearing up in his mind. (aargh!) and that was definitely one nice nice memory. =)
so many other sweet memories kept there for me. all of them waiting for me to go there to collect them and store them back inside my memory. but i cant. my mind is just too confused with feelings and thoughts that i can never clear, unless some of them are let go... ...
TC. do you know what TC is? TC is Truth Club. yanyi should know what it is. it can be considered as one of the many happy or sad memories in my mind. but it also caused my acadamic downfall. TC caused so many friendships to bloom and fail. It has taken pain and trust and honesty for us to keep it alive, yet it failed, and now it has been forgotten by many others who were once in it. It has served many of us a great means of communication and purposes. but now... ...
the people once in it: yanyi, aloysius, daniel, daryl, cedric, dexter, wu qi, tianhui, me......such a big group, many come and go, many survived. at that time, we still dared to talk as friends and just friends. we told each other our secrets and expect them to keep it. that was how the name came about. the group came about when we were just playing truth and dare, and then we have truth club. we used to organise calls at night to play truth and dare together. but now... ...
now we (meaning daniel, daryl, cedric, dexter, tianhui) never talked. we do not dare to. now we avoid each other by all means, we hardly see each other and when we do, we run away. we act like we are sworn enemies who can never be getting along together. why?
someone tell me whyee.
today im sianified. i couldnt play games. so i did housework and homework and practiced my dear dear piano. but i was very confused. so i posted. that's all.
If anyone from TC who would ever read this post, please tell me why. pls pls pls pls pls enlighten me, for i'll be hoping and waiting for the answer that will help me put down the heavy rock in my heart.
